What does atomic mean in this sense? That seems more confusing than immutable.

I don't need to prove you wrong with examples, you are wrong, it's very well documented and widely understood. If you choose to not believe it and can't be bothered to research it yourself then you have chosen to stay ignorant, and wrong, which is your right.

Name a counter example

Statistics isn't defined by examples. Educate yourself, this is a very well known and understood concept. Staying in ignorance is your choice.

Maybe do some research about statistical concepts before spouting what sounds good to you. Causation can absolutely 'come' without correlation.

You are a great example of someone not understanding that things are complex so you reach for tabloid explanations because they are comfortable and simple.

Got what I assume is this variant. Can confirm it's nasty and goes on for a long time.

Dehumanising people makes it easy to hate and persecute them, and to blame them for a bunch of stuff which isn't their fault. It really is a classic move with a rich history.

Overlooked doesn't mean what you think it means.

Is the three musketeers really on par with the count? I've been meaning to read it for months but I always got the sense it would be disappointing.

All of HP Lovecraft's stories.

I liked it until about half way through, it seemed to lose all the intrigue and then there was the weird bit about rape (if I remember correctly) at which point I gave up. Shame because it started well.

Just finished Embassytown by China Mieville. Haven't read anything for ages so took the opportunity to get back into it on a lazy holiday. Highly recommend this book, or any by China, if you enjoy dense sci-fi.
